Thanks again,

The one thing that still dosent make sence is why it didnt start with a jump, not even turn over

Ok Great, that sounds more reasonable. I did think that his comments were a bit strange as she normally runs pretty well.
If the battery was flat would that explain erratic ideling once i pulled over?

Thanks all for your help

Thanks guys, She is a 1983 1.9 watercooled petrol with a DG engine , not the original i would think. I did wonder if the tow guy was full of it, he wasnt really that interested in being there to be honest any was a grumpy bast@&*. The strange thing is that the ignition lights came on and interna...

Hi all, Have had "Mimi" for the better part of a year and done about 8000 miles. Few little bits and pieces to fix along the way but some good long trips to France and Switzerland etc. on my way home the other night my lights began to dim, the temp gauge and fuel gauge started to decline a...

Bizzar thing is one day it was fine, i came back after a month and within 3 miles down the road the oil started pissing out!

Thanks for that, and sorry for the late reply. The motor seems to run as normal.... and I guess with these things the worst of winter will be over soon there is more summer related issues and ill leave it for next year! The good news is that my heater is working well, the temp guage is working again...

Hi All, Sorry for the late reply, ive been in switzerland and the van has been parked up. (which she was not pleased about!) I would guess that the front ones have been left for the look and maybe that the back ones needed doing and were easy. Personally id prefer that the ride was a bit less bouncy...

Brilliant,
Thanks for that ill get on it in the morning

Cheers

Hi all, I have just taken "Mimi" (83 1.9 DF) for a run after a month or so and had a nice line of oil follow me home. on the plus side the oil light works. Ive taken the gard off from around the pushrods and the oil is leaking from the oil pressure sensor. It could be possible that its bee...

So, I had a crack at this, dash out and pulled the whole thing to bits, managed to do it without taking the hoses off. Cleaned alot of "pooh" out of the core and it was in pretty good condition so replaced the foam mounting strips, made some new flaps. Heater blower was working fine, not m...

Hi, Quick one, I brought a 1.9 watercooled dg (late) and it came with a box set of 4 springs. 2 were already on the back and the other 2 are still in the box. the 2 that are on the front could do with being changed as they are a bit rusty and it would be nice to have a few less bumps! The front 2 ar...

The following link details the wires for the disel modle. Does anybody know the relivent layout for a 1983 1.9 petrol? Still trying to trace a fault with my temp gauge, HAS to be in this board somewhere and havent worked out which wire to bypass directly to the gauge. (which works as bypasing the wr...

Thanks for that. I think that its something to do with that setup as it seems to have interferred with the dash light bulbs too. Will try and trace it tomorrow and see what happens. Might try bypassing the plug completly or checking those terminals again with the metre to double check that both pins...
